The underground employees responded enthusiastically, saying that as long as they were paid, they could get things done, and President Shen could rest assured.
Damn, the IT industry is really easy to fool. As soon as you talk about your dreams, they'll rush to you. Who cares about a salary? Early programmers all had to pay out of their own pockets to the company. If you don't pay out of your own pocket, how can you call yourself one of the first generation of IT professionals?
Looking at the employees he employs, they only do things for money, and won't do anything without it. Shen Fang's dream of becoming a capitalist and exploiting people is probably just a pipe dream. Talking about dreams in the entertainment industry is really a load of bull. Next time, try talking about art and see if you can fool a few idiots.
In the evening, Shen Fang had a big feast. In the past two years, influenced by Shenzhen, seafood has become popular in cities like the north. Although Shen Fang was from Guangdong in both his lives, he could never get used to seafood. He always found it fishy. That's right, a Cantonese person finds seafood fishy.
Moreover, the most important reason Shen Fang left Guangdong was the food. He genuinely couldn't get used to the constant blanching and raw marinating of the local cuisine; he preferred the flavorful dishes of northern China.
However, as a boss, you definitely have to take care of your employees, especially for the first employee dinner. They served everything imaginable, like abalone, lobster, crab, and sea cucumber. Fifteen people ate like there were thirty, with three dishes for each person. It was incredibly extravagant.
The drinks served were all Moutai, Penfolds, Hennessy, and the like.
The meal was quite enjoyable. The employees witnessed the boss's generosity and wealth, which reassured them and made them work more diligently. This is indeed the case. With an ordinary boss, the employees you recruit are basically masters of slacking off. Even with some ability, the employees you recruit won't be particularly hardworking. Only with a wealthy boss will employees be willing to sell themselves and work for you.
Because the system of guaranteed job placement had only recently ended, the laid-off employees were still relatively complacent. The employees of 2002 had not yet begun to compete fiercely, and the unscrupulous capitalists had only recently entered the industry and were still novices. They had not yet learned many of the methods of exploiting employees, and the employees at that time had very bad tempers. Society was not particularly stable, and if you angered someone, they would really mess with you.
The only companies currently experiencing intense competition are internet companies, but they rely on passion and dreams. That's right, back in 2002, everyone had dreams, and everything was developing in a positive direction, unlike later when people just wanted to give up. The pressure wasn't as great back then; Beijing's housing prices were only around 3,000 yuan per square meter. Yes, 3,000 yuan per square meter in the city center—I'm not kidding.
After dinner, Shen Fang saw off the employees, and Shen Kun drove Shen Fang and Zhong Lifang back home.
